It is better to know how to learn than to know.

Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

You’ll be on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights! You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.

I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny.

From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.

It’s opener there in the wide open air.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.

With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
